Funny Picture Stories v2#7 not same as "Your Laundry Here" variant?

(1/3) > >>

Henry Andrews (fox_centaur):
Hi folks,
  We seem to have the "Your Laundry Here" variant cover pasted onto a JVJ/narfstar/builderboy c2c scan of Funny Picture Stories v2#7 ( http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?dlid=12477 ).  I've emailed Jim V., Jr. to confirm (narfstar did not recall anything special about this one), but I am fairly certain this is a bad splice.  Heritage shows the laundry variant here:
http://comics.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=16101&lotNo=16162
claiming 16 interior pages, including the laundry text appearing inside.

I have a paper copy of v2#7 (regular version- missing part of the front cover, but enough is present to confirm it's the normal one) which matches exactly the scanned interior.

I notice that the file name for the cover posted here is "1306549973Funny Picture Stories v2 07 pg01 HA.jpg" with a rather suspicious "HA" (=? Heritage Auctions?) tacked onto the end.  Close examination shows that both the Heritage cover and the one here have a diagonal crease running from the spine to the left of the "P" in "Picture" up through that letter, then through the "F" and "U" of "Funny" to the top edge.  There's otherwise been well-done photoshop cleanup on it, but that plus some other things (horizontal black marks in "Funny") line up quite well.

Builderboy or anyone else know the history here?

thanks,
-henry

Henry Andrews (fox_centaur):
Just got confirmation from JVJ- that cover is not the cover of his copy, which is the regular cover matching http://www.comics.org/issue/280/cover/4/  So I'm now pretty certain that since Heritage is unlikely to have gotten the details that drastically wrong, the cover on the scan should be switched (I'd do this, but as those who have been kind enough to edit and assemble my scans know, I'm not really up on the details of how to get a replacement up on the site- or do a good job photoshopping the proper cover for that matter!)

thanks,

Ok, thanks Henry.
Geo or I should get this fixed in the near future.
Or if someone out there would like to correct it and reupload it to the site please feel free.
Then let us know it's there so we can remove the incorrect one.

I wonder why the cover change? Only the 10¢ and date is different. I've got a copy of both covers and will cut and paste the two together on this sometime today hopefully. And see what I come up with.

builderboy:
Henry and All,

My fault entirely.  Prior to receiving Narfstar's scans of Jim's book, I had done a download of every quality cover I could find as place holders and a stockpile for coverless book scans.  I inadvertently used the wrong cover, but still have narf's original scan.  I will fix it this afternoon.
